Hi,

I am not able to see the Scanned Report for any JCL when I code with TYPRUN='SCAN'. Is it something the SCAN feature is missing in Z/OS ? If so, are there any equivalent features available ?

I do not understand what you mean by 'scanned report'. All TYPRUN=SCAN does is allow your JCL to be interpreted but not executed - just sent to the output queue. TYPRUN=HOLD sends it to the input queue, in hold status, after interpretation. What were you expecting? If you have no output on the output queue then you either have a JCL error in the jobcard or you have specified a MSGCLASS that prohibits the 'printing' of JCL or you have not submitted the job.

I think you are thinking you are using a "JCL Checker" program: you are not.

If that is not what you are thinking, please explain more clearly and in more detail.

What DD statement do you look at in the spool? Are you at correct one?

Hello,

If a TYPRUN=SCAN is run, there should be no DD statements in the spool - only the JES sysouts.

And these need to be posted here. If there are no JES sysouts, he job was flushed - probably because of an invalid JOB statement.

Dear Dick,

Thanks for the clarification.

You're welcome.

Did you fnd the "scan" information?

If you execute a Job with TYPRUN=SCAN, you'll get the following DDName listed. As Dick say they are "JES" sysouts, I referred them as "DD-Names" as shown below:

Select all

Display Filter View Print Options Help
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SDSF JOB DATA SET DISPLAY - JOB JOBNAME(JOB28196) LINE 1-2 (2)
COMMAND INPUT ===> SCROLL ===> CSR
PREFIX=JOBNAME DEST=LOCAL OWNER=* SYSNAME=
NP DDNAME StepName ProcStep DSID Owner C Dest Rec-Cnt Page
JESMSGLG JES2 2 Anuj Y LOCAL 8
JESJCL JES2 3 Anuj Y LOCAL 11

one will have what you are looking for.

Recall something similar many moons ago and using MSGLEVEL=(1,1) on the jobcard resolved the issue

Yup, all points that covered in my original reply - not bad for 6 in the morning before feeding the pigs.

EDIT - on the other hand 10:00am after feeding the pigs I had to edit this reply!
